Good Deed Contest 2014 Winner Announced

2014 is over and so is the Good Deed Contest Dr. Khaimov and staff organized.

Dr. Khaimov received many essays full of wonderful good deeds local kids did. It was a hard decision, but the winner is 12-year-old Gurveer Singh, I.S. 93 student. Below are some of the good deeds Gurveer did:

“There was this very elderly person and she couldn’t get up from the ground across the street from me, so I was in the window watching the snow and I saw her,” Singh explained. “I ran out with my coat and slippers and I took her to the hospital.”

He also wrote about the time he took a trip he took with his family to India and met a young boy begging for food on the street.

“I bought him food and took care of him, and I also gave him a little bit of money to take care of himself,” Singh said. “I just don’t like seeing people in poverty.”

The Maspeth dentist presented Singh with a Kindle Fire for his essays in order to inspire him to continue reading and learning and better his own future.

“I am not doing this because I am a dentist,” she explained. “I am doing this because I am a mom and I am teaching my kids to be good. I also see how kids lately are so careless and I would like to reach out to other parents and teachers to raise a better community.”
